Parks Visitor safety responded to some stranded boaters who lost their canoe in a log jam on the Bow River yesterday. Water levels are high right now and the river is powerful so make sure your skill level matches your paddling plan for the day. Keep a close eye out for sweepers or log jams, and expect some variations in the rivers course due to last season’s spring floods. For more information see http://ow.ly/xrPyM

If anyone has recent information about paddling conditions on the Lake Louise to Castle Junction, or Castle Junction to Banff sections of the Bow River, or any other recent river observations in Banff, Yoho and Kootenay National Parks we would be interested to hear about them.
